E55
Right Front Suspension Low

Has anyone come across all three corners except the front right go up and down when using the raise up button? I checked the lowering link and it's ok. Before this happening I got a white malfunction light with the arrow up. I have 04 E55 thank you.

I have not seen this, where three sides are flat and one side is raised. It is obvious that you have some issues, the only true way to resolve this is, to have the system scanned for faults to determine if replacement Air Struts and Air Springs are needed.

I believe he has it the other way around, only one corner is low.

As I read your description, you got the white malfunction light with the arrow up, then tried to to raise the car, and the front right not raising.

The white malfunction light with the arrow up you got because the airmatic was unable to adjust ride height on the right front corner.
The problem is probably in the valve body, the valve for the front right strut, not working.
Can also be a bad electric connection, but my money is on the valve.
Dismantle, clean, check for movement of plunger, fit new O rings, refit, check.

Better backwards than no movement at all.
